Why Is Life So Hard?

As a joke, my friends and I always ask the question, "Why is life so hard?" We're never referring to the real issues of life. We're not talking about the horrible state of healthcare, world hunger, wars, gangs, murderers, abuse, etc., We are referring to insignificant issues that would make our lives so much easier if they could be magically tweaked. Although at our inner core, we're grateful for what we have, the bottom line is, we want what we want when we want it. Therefore, why can't it all be as easy as that? Here are a few whys that may be on your list, please feel free to make your own list.

  • Why can't we eat whatever we want and be slim?
  • Why can't money grow on trees?
  • Why are some people so beautiful?
  • Why do I have to break out (at my age) all the time?
  • Why do we still have periods long after childbearing is over with?
  • Why are my feet so wide?
  • Why do dust bunnies grow so large overnight?
  • Why is fat so disgusting?
  • Why does cellulite exist?
  • Why can't I win the lottery?
  • Why aren't my parents wealthy?
  • Why must we work five days a week?
  • Why can't we have 5 day weekends and work two days?
  • Why do I have such bad hangnails?
  • Why can't life be happy 24/7/365?
  • Why are some people so cranky?
  • Why can't we all be good at everything?
  • Why do processed foods often taste yummy?
  • Why can't we all have limo drivers?
  • Why can't husbands be like the ones of Lifetime movies?
  • Why can't every day be a Norman Rockwell picture?
  • Why can't laundry fold and/or hang itself up?
  • Why can't bathrooms be programmed to sanitize themselves?
  • Why must there be illness at all? (Much too deep for this list)
  • Why do fun days/trips/events always come to an end?
. . . and the beat goes on. Have a great day! Grow your own list!
